Not long after Liu Jun and Hu Langzhong chatted privately, the mute Xiao Li ran over shirtless, rolled up a handful of water with a large lotus leaf, and wrapped some herbs in the lotus leaf.
When the mute saw Hu Langzhong and several of the clan leader's guards arriving, he was surprised at first. After Liu Jun explained a little, the mute smiled. With the clan leader coming forward, the matter could be explained.
Liu Jun took the water in the big lotus leaf bag from the mute, said "Thank you for your hard work, Ali", and handed it to Tian Xiuhua first. Tian Xiuhua said thank you, but did not drink it first, and handed it to Liu Dekui's hand.
"Ajun, you have run so far. You must be thirsty. You drink first." Liu Dekui felt sorry for his son.
"Dad, you can drink it if I ask you to." Although Liu Jun's throat was thirsty, he smacked his lips, swallowed his saliva, and turned away. For some reason, he just ignored his father and Tian Xiuhua, who were loving each other.
Look.
When he learned that Hu Langzhong, Liu Dekui and Tian Xiuhua had taken the medicine, the mute grinned and threw away the hard-earned herbs without hesitation.
The walk back was easy. Liu Dekui and Tian Xiuhua were carried by the four clan chiefs' escorts, and they soon reached the fish pond in Fenshan. At this time, the sky was already dark, and the east was filled with white fish belly.
While the clan leader, Xiao Zhongbo, was waiting by the fish pond, he had already sent the villagers who were watching the excitement home, leaving behind the big two-wheeled cart. Only the four escorts carrying the sedan and the village chief Xiao Fugui's three brothers were left.
After all, Xiao Zhongbo was old and fell asleep while lying on the sedan chair. The guards also squatted beside the sedan chair and took a nap. Only the three brothers, the village chief, could not sleep and their eyes were red.
When he arrived at Fenshan Fish Pond, Liu Jun saw that the villagers had retreated, and saw the patriarch and the village chief's three brothers there, so he felt relieved. His father's judgment was correct, and the patriarch had indeed shown enough sincerity to end the relationship between his father and the village chief.
A festival among village chiefs.
Liu Jun was extremely jealous when he met the village chief as enemies, but with the clan chief around, he kept his temper and did not get angry.
Xiao Zhongbo woke up and invited everyone to sit down around the sedan by the pond. The patriarch's style of dealing with things was that everyone talked about something and talked about it in front of each other.
"Old man, I'm sorry for you." Liu Dekui returned Xiao Zhongbo's beard and hair guiltily.
Xiao Zhongbo took Chang Xu on the sedan chair, pondered for a moment, and said with a majestic expression: "Dekui and Agui, you don't need to explain. I know the cause and effect of the matter very well. No matter who is right or wrong, things have already happened, and you don't need to."
What nonsense, just say it directly, what do you want to answer?"
"Who says it first?" Xiao Zhongbo stared at Liu Dekui and Xiao Fugui and asked.
"I said." Xiao Fugui wanted to be the first to take the lead, and immediately gritted his teeth, "Liu Dekui had an affair with my wife, which made me shameless as a person in Langshang Village. Liu Jun stabbed my thigh with a saber. I'm afraid I won't be able to walk on this leg.
My request is that Liu Dekui and Liu Junye kneel down to me, kowtow three times, and move away from Langshang Village, and the matter will be settled."
Xiao Fugui knew very well that his brother broke Liu Dekui's legs, and he smashed Liu Dekui's manhood. Liu Dekui was injured more seriously. He and Liu Dekui hurt each other. The patriarch's governing style has always been to hit each other fifty times.
Boss, there is no need to talk about compensation. The key is to save face.
After listening to Xiao Fugui's statement, Liu Jun sneered secretly. Xiao Fugui wanted him and his son to bow their heads to him and admit their mistakes, but there was no way. As for whether to move from Langshang Village, it all depends on his father's wishes. Most of the villagers in this village are cold-blooded.
If you stay in the village, you will have to go against the village chief, so whether you move or not doesn't matter.
"Dekui, tell me." Xiao Zhongbo asked calmly.
"Old man, when it comes to injuries, who suffered minor injuries and who suffered serious injuries, everyone was injured, so I won't go into details. Although I was wrong first, it is absolutely impossible to kowtow and kneel down." Liu Dekui immediately
To express one's position, one should not say anything, but one is cowardly and incompetent. With the patriarch making the decision, one has to say what needs to be said, "A man kneels to the sky, to the ground, and to his parents in the middle. You judge, old man, can I kneel?"
"I can't do it without kneeling!" Xiao Fugui shouted.
Xiao Zhongbo glared at Xiao Fugui and said to Liu Dekui: "Then are you willing to move?"
Liu Dekui was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."
Although Liu Dekui was extremely reluctant, he had to agree to the village chief's request and move away from Langshang Village. The three acres of land that his ancestors had worked hard to leave in Langshang Village was lost in his hands, and Liu Dekui's heart was bleeding.
Liu Dekui also knew very well that since the village chief Xiao Fugui could not accommodate him and his father in the village, he had no choice but to move away. Compared with coming to Shentang, he was extremely lucky. More importantly, his legs were disabled.
Since Liu Jun decided to go to the city, he might not be able to do farm work in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Naturally, no one would take care of the fields at home.
"Ahua, what about you? What do you think?" Xiao Zhongbo has not forgotten Tian Xiuhua who was beaten by the village chief.
"Old man, Xiao Fugui and I can't live together. It's up to the children to decide who our children will be. He broke Brother Dekui's legs. I will serve Brother Dekui for the rest of my life." Tian Xiuhua is very determined, no matter what Liu Dekui's situation is.
, she just wants to be with him.
"Ugly bitch, you..." Xiao Fugui cursed, really wanting to step forward and tear Tian Xiuhua's mouth open. Tian Xiuhua's words hurt people's self-esteem so much that she could not forget a man who had an affair.
"Adult, husband, adulterous wife" Xiao Fugui cursed ten thousand times in his heart.
"It's going to rain and my mother wants to get married. There's nothing we can do about it. Xiuhua, just live with Dekui." Xiao Zhongbo made a decision.
Xiao Zhongbo has seen countless people and knows very well that although there is a saying from ancient times that "it is better to demolish a temple than a marriage", Tian Xiuhua and Xiao Fugui have broken up. They cannot become a couple by forcibly binding them. It is better to make Tian Xiuhua and Liu Dekui together. Tian Xiuhua said
Yes, someone has to take care of Liu Dekui when he is paralyzed. This can be regarded as relieving Liu Jun, the son of Liu Dekui, who is full of hatred, and will eliminate Liu Jun's hatred.
"Old man, Xiuhua kowtows to you. Your great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten." Tian Xiuhua cried with joy. In the remote Langshang Village, few people of her generation like the village chief Xiao Fugui can get a marriage certificate.
As for the de facto marriage, the marriage contract between Tian Xiuhua and Xiao Fugui can be resolved with a word from the patriarch. From now on, Tian Xiuhua can live with Liu Dekui legitimately.
"Thank you, old man." Liu Dekui looked at Tian Xiuhua affectionately and said to Xiao Zhongbo, "Don't worry, old man, I will move away after this busy farming period."
"Well, the matter is settled like this. None of you can do anything again. Whoever does it first, don't blame me for being rude." Xiao Zhongbo cut off the hemp with a quick knife, said "Get off" to the eight kings, and sat in the four-person sedan.
Return to the village.
The clan chief had spoken, and no one dared to move. Although the village chief cursed Xiao Zhongbo a thousand times and ten thousand times for being an old man, he still did not dare to make a mistake. He just glared at Liu Jun fiercely and called Xiao Zhongbo.
Furen and Xiao Fuquan carried him back to the village on a large cart.
"Village chief, let me bandage your thigh first." Hu Langzhong ran forward carrying the medicine box.
"Huh, do you still remember me as the village chief? What did you do just now?" Xiao Fugui ignored Hu Langzhong who ran over and asked the two brothers to push the cart home.
Hu Langzhong was frustrated, but he still had to be patient and follow the cart behind him. He wanted to follow the village chief home and then bandage the village chief.
…
"Brother Dekui, if I am with you, I will have no regrets in dying." On the way home, Tian Xiuhua, who was carried by the mute on his shoulders, was satisfied.
Hearing Tian Xiuhua say "to be with you", Liu Dekui, who was carried on Liu Jun's shoulders, did not respond, but winked at Tian Xiuhua repeatedly. Liu Dekui knew that although his son Liu Jun was not interested in the comedy ending between him and Tian Xiuhua,
No matter what, he could feel that his son was disgusted with such things. For a while, his son could not accept Tian Xiuhua entering the Liu family.
After settling his father and Tian Xiuhua at home, Liu Jun left behind the mute Xiao Li. Together they cooked a large pot of porridge and served it to Liu Dekui and Tian Xiuhua.
Liu Dekui's legs were broken, and he could only sit or lie down. Fortunately, the village chief's mallet that hit Liu Dekui's balls was slightly off-center. Although the man's thing was useless, he was still able to pee normally.
Saved a lot of trouble.
Exit Tian Xiuhua. I'm injured and can't walk now. I'll be back to normal in a few days.
With the patriarch Xiao Zhongbo settling the case and settling the feud between the village chief and Liu Dekui's family, no one would criticize Tian Xiuhua for stealing. Tian Xiuhua became Liu Dekui's wife and Liu Jun's stepmother in name.
Knowing that Liu Dekui's family would move away soon, the villagers couldn't bear to gossip behind their backs. It was not easy for the two men and women to finally come together after suffering so much, but it was hard to comment on Liu Dekui and Tian Xiuhua.
Does this count as "lovers eventually get married"?!
…
The mute's behavior in front of the fish pond in Fenshan greatly disobeyed the village chief's will. The next day, the village chief sent people to demolish the hut where the mute lived by the fish pond, saying that the fish pond had evil spirits and that the villagers
Not suitable for stationing.
The mute had no choice but to live in Liu Dekui's house, which fulfilled the mute's wish and could be with his savior Ajun every day.
Liu Jun insists on cooking every day, but with the help of the mute Xiao Li, it becomes a lot easier. Every time he cooks the vegetables and cooks the rice, he always serves it to his father to eat first, but the mute serves it to Tian Xiuhua. A Jun has no choice but to
When she saw Tian Xiuhua, she called her "aunt", and Tian Xiuhua happily accepted it with a smile.
Tian Xiuhua knew that it was almost impossible for Ajun to call "Mom", but Tian Xiuhua regarded Liu Jun as her biological son in her heart.
Liu Jun knew that his life in Langshang Village would not last long. In addition to serving his father and Tian Xiuhua three meals a day, Liu Jun would ask the mute to go fishing for turtles and eels in the pond and stream outside the village.
Since the county seat was too far away, it was impossible to catch a few kilograms of soft-shelled turtles, so the eels went to the city to be sold. Liu Jun and the mute dug a small puddle in a relatively private place near their home to collect the soft-shelled turtles, eels, etc. they caught every day.
The aquatic products are put into pits and raised. In order to save travel expenses, they will be sold in one go when the time comes.
Liu Jun took the mute to catch turtles and hid it from his father and Tian Xiuhua, and did not tell anyone in the village. Liu Jun was holding back his anger and must earn enough money to go to the city to start a small business. Now his father is dead.
, and there is another woman to support. No one can count on it. He can only rely on himself. Liu Jun must shoulder the burden of this family. Children from poor families should be the head of the family long ago!
Liu Dekui's family, which was already poor, suddenly had two adults. Soon the income was stretched thin and life became difficult.
When Liu Dekui was in trouble, the village chief's wife secretly helped him out. Now Tian Xiuhua and the village chief have lost their relationship as husband and wife. The village chief has cut off all sources of income for Tian Xiuhua and hasn't given Tian Xiuhua a penny. This person has no money.
Money makes life difficult.
As the head of the family, Liu Dekui, who is paralyzed in bed, is worried. Now he has no money to buy oil and grind rice. How will a family of four drink the northwest wind? How will they live in the future?
